#2017 Mapping

Posted by Wava Stella on 21 November 2017 in English. Last updated on 22 November 2017.

As a volunteer through Youth Mapping, I have engaged and experienced a lot of interesting projects, mapathons, workshops and training. Started with a HOT Project for mapping for malaria elimination in Zimbabwe Southern Province and Zambia. Ignoring the inconsistency in my diligence, I still manged to deliver awesome and come up as one the good mappers on the project with an appreciation from HOT. A lot of projects followed for which my contribution was mainly remote inclusive the project for response to refugee crisis in Northern Uganda through a number of mapathons, use of some tasks to train on the other members interested in the realm of mapping. Many more project tasks including #Hurricane Irma, #Kasese Floods and a lot not mentioned. And now we have embarked on the #Saving Mothers giving birth in Kyenjojo, Uganda. However, with all these projects and training conducted, JOSM has emerged my best platform for savoring the mapping moment.
